Here's mine waiting it's turn after the shovelhead build. Hoping to build either a tunnel ram or hilborn injected 289 ford and swap out to slot mags. I've always wanted a 70s style "fad T"
Had not seen that video before. No point in a flame paint job there! It's already Black with flames! Having recently watched superfastmatt's video about the fastest car, I have a better idea what's driving it. That is one where you aren't in the throttle (actually feeding it fuel, like a diesel) very much, judging from the acceleration!
Finally! I'd seen ancient chassis shots of this thing somewhere, but never the whole car. This guy was thinking way outside of the box: Double round tube rail frame, Rocker arm IFS, IRS, Rat motor, crazy custom cab. Outta sight, man. Ill bet it drives very well, but that body side bulge tells me it's probably pretty breezy inside at speed! I'm guessing it's still around somewhere?
I seen it on marketplace for $20k but here's another listing for $15k https://classiccars.com/listings/view/1768552/1923-ford-t-bucket-for-sale-in-cadillac-michigan-49601 .
Good catch! I am very suspect of that lister, though. Seems they have over half the cars advertised in some places. Either they have a very strong outreach on consignment sales or they just list everything they can and collect buyer info. They want to be the middleman for too many cars.
